This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MoreIt's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreSome friends and I have watched many terrible films, but this is the absolute pinnacle of C-movie grandeur. It contains awful acting, a porn-quality soundtrack, poorly overdubbed speech (in some of which the actors forgot their exact words, so you can tell they're not speaking the same line), completely pointless nudity, and repetitive location work. All the characters speak a senseless mix of Olde and contemporary English, frequently misusing thous and thys. The special effects seem as if they were done on an old Apple II. And at the core of this shining gem is a story so fragmented, so spur-of-the-moment, that it hurts the head to see. There are plenty of phenomenal lines in this film, worthy of quotation when you want to get a laugh. All in all, I consider Roller Blade to be one of the best worst films I've ever seen.
... View MoreNo question about it, this film is awful. Perhaps the most amazing thing is that it appears to have 4 sequels! The only one I have seen is Roller Blade Warriors: Taken By Force, and its just as bad.Although a bit boring, I will give the film points for a creative plot. In some kind of post nuclear wasteland type (Mad Max rip off) world, there exists a group of roller skating nuns. They worship a 1970's era happy face icon. Their leader is named Mother Speed. She sits in a wheelchair with her skates on. She endlessly babbles horrible mock-Shakespearian dialogue, her favorite phrase is "Yeah Verily." Several of her nuns are played by actresses who are porn stars. They don't wear much normally and like to strip naked for certain initiation rites which take place in a hot tub (which still somehow works perfectly after everything else has been destroyed). The nuns can heal wounds with special powers which cause the happy face to appear. There is one notable scene with Mother Speed endlessly turning the handle of a pencil sharpener (with an orange happy face on top) which is attached to a Panasonic telephone answering machine. It makes a kind of whining noise while others look on in wonder.The nuns battle their enemy Dr. Saticoy (which is named after a street in L.A.). A bunch of stupid stuff happens and Saticoy is eventually launched into the air on some kind of rocket powered device. Its real hard to figure out exactly what this is all about as the plot gets hopelessly lost as the film goes on.Bad as this film is, it might actually be a little better than the director's previous film The Demon Lover from 1976. I'm amazed this director actually has 19 film credits!
... View MoreI thought this movie was great! You've got nuns on rollerskates, women, punk rockers and more! If you enjoy low budget films, check this one out... it's worth it.
... View MoreThis was a tough one to sit through. In my quest to find the worst movie ever made, I have come across "Glen or Glenda" and "Manos: The Hands of Fate", but "Roller Blade" may edge out these two as the most painful of media to watch (aside from the evening news). Be warned. Not for the faint of heart.
